changing the color of a cell in a datagrid

[Franck]

hello,
I'm trying to change the color of certain cells
in a datagrid according to their values?

I tried to get the value in the Datagrid_ItemCreated event but I couldn't

I don't know where else to start?

any help?
thank you

ItemDataBound and PreRender are the right events to use.

what was wrong with the _ItemCreated call?
Also, look at the _ItemBound (or is it _ItemDataBound?) event.

HI,
You cant do it in the Item created event. You should do it in the itembound
event.

In the ItemCreated event the data's not yet been bound to the
DataGridItem, so you can't reference the data. Hence you need to use
the ItemDataBound event, as you noted.

You need to use the ItemDataBound event.

Here's a FAQ that shows how to accomplish just what you're after
(coloring a cell based on the data in the cell):

Depending on where the data is coming from though....

But yeah, you are right. The Bound is the better place.
